ABSTRACT
We have entered a new age, the Information Age. Spatial transformation is a fundamental dimension of the overall process of structural change. We need a new theory of spatial forms and processes, adapted to the new social, technological, and spatial context in which we live. I will attempt here to propose some elements of this theory, a theory of urbanism in the Information Age. I will not develop the analysis of the meaning of the Information Age, taking the liberty to refer the reader to my trilogy on the matter (Castells 1996, 1997, 2000).
